Welcome to Materials Alerts from the Science City Research Alliance (SCRA) project involving the Universities of Birmingham and Warwick.

Science City Alerts

The Science City Research Alliance (SCRA) brings together the West Midlands’ two leading research led universities, the University of Birmingham and the University of Warwick, in collaborative projects across scientific themes in Advanced Materials, Energy and Translational Medicine as part of the Birmingham Science City* initiative.

The initiative supports the manufacturing industry of the West Midlands and is actively working to improve the competitiveness of the region. As part of that activity we provide a free alerting service bringing the latest information on key topics to your desktop and backing that up with a searchable archive of News, Patents, University Publications and Research Papers.

We welcome feedback on the service, please use the Contact us link at the top of the page to send us you comments and suggestions to improve Materials Alerts.
